Overall gambling participation in Great Britain between September 2024 and January 2025 decreased by three percentage points from the three months prior, according to new data from the Gambling Commission, published as part of its Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB) research conducted by NatCen.
Participation in gambling activity in the last four weeks of the questioned public was 46%, a drop from 49% reported in NatCen’s previous three-month study that ended October 2024.
The NatCen research was conducted using a surveyed sample of 5,191 adults aged over 18 between September 2024 and January this year.
Of those who said they had gambled within the last four weeks, 19% said they only took part in National Lottery or charity lottery draws.
